Overview

  • Take it with you
    Where is the best place to print and share images of your friends? Wherever you are of course! Thanks to the optional battery NB-CP2LH which can produce up to 54 prints per charge, you can take your SELPHY CP1500 with you and print on-the-go almost anywhere!
  • WiFi, USB, and more, oh my!
    There are so many ways to print images on the SELPHY CP1500, it’s easy to pick the one that works best for you, whether that is WiFi, AirPrint, USB (computer and USB flash drive), your camera memory card, or the SELPHY Photo Layout smartphone app.
  • Instantly dry and marker ready
    Thanks to the dye-sublimation printing process, the prints exit the printer completely dry and ready to handle, and with the final overcoat layer, they are even water-resistant!
  • That means they are also marker ready in case you want to write a personal message on your photo. Prints produced with this technology can last up to 100 years4!
  • Use the free app for even more options
    SELPHY Layout is the free companion app for the SELPHY printers that let you print, edit, and add fun effects right from your Smartphone. Now updated to V3.0, the SELPHY Layout app lets you organize how you want to print your images.
  • You can create collages, choose which images you want to use for mini-stickers, add pattern overcoat effects, and even add QR codes to your prints to direct someone to a specific webpage.
  • New finishing options
    Most dye-sub printers can only produce glossy prints (because the final overcoat layer is glossy), but Canon has learned how to change the texture of the final print so that you can choose from glossy, semi-gloss and satin finishes.
  • Additionally you can Print patterns into the overcoat layer to give your images a subtle pop of texture.
  • Disclaimers
  • 1. Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11b/g 2.4ghz compatibility. Wireless performance may vary based on terrain and distance between the printer and wireless network clients.
  • 2. AirPrint functionality requires an iPad, iPhone 3GS or later, or iPod touch 3rd generation or later device running iOS 4.2 or later, and an AirPrint-enabled printer connected to the same network as your iOS device.

Paper gets stuck and hard to xonnect - Had the worst problem getting this set up. Then the printer paper got stuck and ruined the entire pack. Really disappointing

Great little printer-Fast & convenient - I’m really impressed with the Canon SELPHY CP1500! The print quality is great, and the pictures come out clear and vibrant. It prints quickly and is surprisingly quiet, which I really like. It’s also super convenient and easy to use when I want photos printed without having to leave the house. Definitely a great little photo printer and a purchase I’m happy with!

Great quality photo printer - I love this product so much, it has been so easy to transport when moving around. It is also a great quality printer for its size and the app has so many fun features to explore.
